It's unfair to blame Kurt Okraku over Hohoe United's withdrawal - George Afriyie
George Afriyie pushed back against attempts to link the challenges facing Hohoe United to Kurt Okraku. Afriyie insisted the situation stems from broader structural issues involving both the club's ownership and the Football Association. Afriyie stated, "What has happened to Hohoe United is not linked to Kurt Okraku. We are not being fair to him. The real problem lies with the club owners, and the FA itself is complicit."
Hohoe United decided on Wednesday, April 1, 2026, to withdraw from the ongoing 2025/26 Ghana Premier League season, citing systemic challenges and what they describe as unfair treatment. At the time of their withdrawal, Hohoe United were languishing in the relegation zone with 30 points from 27 matches. Afriyie criticised inconsistencies in the enforcement of disciplinary measures, arguing that the FA has failed to apply stricter sanctions for repeat offences.
With seven games remaining, the Kpando-based side faced a daunting schedule-set to play just one match at their designated home ground, while the remaining six fixtures, including nominal home ties, were to be staged at alternative venues. Club officials maintain that the arrangement significantly weakened their survival prospects in the top flight. Afriyie pointed out that repeated breaches often attract similar penalties instead of progressively harsher punishments.
